Here is why I dislike automobiles of any kind at the moment. =D
We broke down 4 times all together on the tour.
#1 - The fuel pump goes up in the van. We spend $500 to fix it, even though it’s not our van (hopefully we’ll get paid back).
#2 - The transmission starts going bad that same day. Overdrive is fried but we figure out the rest is okay and make it to Atlanta.
#3 - We lose some more gears on the way to the show the next day and can’t shift to make it up a hill.
#4 - We can’t make it up a huge hill to get it to the shop, get it towed and leave it in a shop in Atlanta.
Then as if it couldn’t get anymore ironic.. after we parked the ryder truck we had to rent at home, we heard a hissing and found a huge screw in the tire. Oh wait. There’s more. I get home and try to go out the next day but my car won’t start becuase it’s been sitting for two weeks. Ha!
